Can you answer the question in the post above your about 'telnet'? You also haven't given any details about which version of Zimbra Desktop you're using nor which operating system it's installed on, if it's not the most recent Zimbra Desktop 2 beta 4 then I'd suggest you install that (details in the announcement in the ZD forums) and see what happens.

The telnet should be a valid command on a Windows XP system. If you are running telnet from the command prompt, and you are getting "command not recognized", might need to check your PATH on the XP system. If "c:\windows\system32" is not in your PATH, you will need to set it.
